Computer Spec?

Would this spec be good. I do want it to be able to run some decent games. Not sure on whether the graphics card would be any good. Would want the laptop to be able to play games such as F1 2012. Would it be a good idea to upgrade the graphics card to one that has its own memory?

It would be very sensible to upgrade the graphics card to a discrete one. You are currently using integrated graphics which will struggle a lot with gaming!

Just realised im not needing an operating system. Currently a student and will have access to Microsoft Dreamspark within the next week, and so being able to get hold of a genuine copy of Windows Professional for free. So with this in mind, I have changed the specs. Would the 2GB Graphics be better, or would the 1GB be the better option?

Yup, get the 640m over the 635m! Just a note, don't look at the capacity of the gpus (VRAM) (1GB vs 2GB) It is pretty meaningless, especially for a laptop. The gpu model is more imporant! Otherwise, looks like a nice spec, enjoy :) !
